Sick of the Sport and can't afford the Milanese Loop? Try a band not made by Apple.

Don’t get me wrong—Apple’s Watch bands are pretty sweet, and very well designed. The Sport band, for example, is ultra-comfy and doesn’t look as casual as you might expect. But that doesn’t mean I want to spend the rest of my life wearing a white fluoroelastomer strap around my wrist.

Luckily, Apple has built change right into its Watch design—just press a small release tab on the bottom of the Watch face, and you can slide your band right out and replace it with a new one. And while Apple may have had the market cornered when the Watch first came out, it doesn’t anymore: Here are 20 quality third-party Apple Watch straps to consider before you drop $450 on the Link Bracelet.

Nothing says Apple like a pretty purple-and-blue galaxy print, right? Casetify’s polycarbonate Galaxy Stars band ($70) is simple and bright, and features either matte silver or matte black hardware (as well as a stainless steel adaptor). If you’re a fan of the bright, design-y Swatch watch bands, Casetify’s Collections are right up your alley.

Here’s another Casetify design that looks superb with the Apple Watch: Black Lace ($70). This black and white lacy strap is made of polycarbonate, features matte silver or matte black hardware, and fits both 38mm and 42mm models. If you don’t see anything you like in Casetify’s predesigned Collection, you can also design your own Casetify band for just $70.

Add a little sparkle to your Apple Watch with Case-Mate’s crystal and leather Brilliance band ($80). The Brilliance comes in black and silver and features a Case-Mate logo-engraved metal clasp and two leather loops to keep the strap in place. This band is only available for the 38mm Watch.

For a subtler sparkly look, Case-Mate’s Sheer Glam band ($35) is a transparent elastomer band with just a hint of silver glitter. The Sheer Glam features a Case-Mate logo-engraved silver metal clasp, two elastomer loops to keep the strap in place, and is only available for the 38mm Watch.

I’m a huge fan of the unique look of Case-Mate’s Turnlock band ($35), which is a one-size-fits-all flexible elastomer band in a chunky chain-link style. The Turnlock band comes in black and shocking pink, features a dangly silver Case-Mate charm, and is only available for the 38mm Watch.

Case-Mate’s Facets band ($50) is another unique-looking elastomer band with subtle sparkle—this band features three-dimensional facets embellished with crystals. The Facets band has a black metal clasp, two elastomer loops to hold the strap in place, and is only available for the 38mm Watch.

The Case-Mate Signature Leather band ($50) isn’t particularly creative—many of the third-party and Apple-approved bands on the market are simple leather bands. This band, which is only available for the 42mm Watch, comes in tobacco brown and black, and features a silver Case-Mate logo-engraved clasp.

If you’re looking for an alternative to Apple’s Sport band, Case-Mate’s Vented band ($35) might be a viable option. This elastomer band comes in black and white and has vents along the strap for a more comfortable workout. The Vented band is only available for the 42mm Watch.

The Monowear Metal band is perfect if you want a very traditional-looking metal bracelet for your Watch. This stainless steel band comes in silver ($99) or black ($119), and features a fold-over clasp with a push button. Monowear allows you to choose the adaptor finish, based on your Watch style—matte silver or matte gray (for the Watch Sport) or polished silver (for the Watch).

If you like the look of Apple’s Milanese Loop strap but you can’t stomach $150, Monowear’s Mesh Metal band ($90) gets you the same general idea for $60 less. This stainless steel band isn’t quite as sexy as the Milanese Loop, since it has a clasp rather than a magnetic closure, but Monowear does let you choose your adaptor finish for a more polished look.

Monowear’s Nylon band ($60) offers a more traditional sporty look—think that durable Timex you had in grade school. The Nylon band comes in black, olive, gray, red, pink, turquoise, and light purple, and features a metal buckle and two metal loops for keeping the strap in place. Monowear lets you choose your adaptor finish, and on the black, olive, and gray Nylon bands you can opt for black or chrome hardware.

Monowear’s Leather band ($80) is not just a copy of Apple’s Classic Buckle or Leather Loop. This band comes in brown, black, crème, poppy red, and navy, and features a soft suede finish (on brown, black, and crème; the red and navy bands have a semi-gloss finish) and a stainless steel buckle. Like with other Monowear designs, you can pick your adaptor finish from matte silver, matte gray, or polished silver.

The Apple Watch may have “all-day battery life,” but if you’re looking for even more juice you’ll want to turn to an extended battery strap like the WiPowerBand ($90 to $100). The WiPowerBand features a 250-mAh battery, which charges your Watch inductively (and can be charged itself with a lightning cable). The WiPowerBand looks a bit like a chunky Sport band and comes in blue, orange, pink, black, and white, and is available for pre-order now.

If you’re looking for a customizable leather strap, MakerGrafix is offering Italian leather bands ($50) for the Watch in black, brown, red, and white. While these straps aren’t quite as customizable as Casetify’s (you can’t put photos or art on them), you can engrave the inside with a name or a message. MakerGrafix’s straps come with silver or black stainless steel hardware.

The Reserve Strap ($250) is another extended battery strap, but this one has a twist. Instead of charging inductively, like the WiPowerBand, the Reserve Strap uses the Watch’s 6-pin accessory port, which is located inside the bottom strap connector. According to the company, this makes for faster charging than inductive charging, and the Reserve Strap will reportedly be able to extend your Watch’s battery life by 125 percent. The Reserve Strap comes in white, black, and gray.

LunaTik’s Epik Apple Watch kit ($125) is a Kickstarter-funded band and case for your Watch that turns it into a ruggedized (ish) piece of wearable tech. The Epik features an anodized aluminum case that fits around the 42mm Watch and a silicone vented sport band with a metal clasp. The aluminum Epik is still in production, but you can pick up the less-impressive polycarbonate Epik from Best Buy for $70.

Incipio’s Premium Leather band ($100) is your classic leather watchband with a brushed silver Incipio-etched clasp. The Premium Leather band will debut at the end of July, and will be available in ebony, espresso, and chestnut.

I’m a huge fan of trendy wrap bands, and Incipio appears to be the only company making these with its Reese Double Wrap genuine leather bands ($90). These smooth leather bands will be long enough to wrap around your wrist at least once, and will come in camel, beige, red, and black.

Can’t afford to upgrade your Watch band? Bling out your Sport band instead with Watch Pops ($10), little anodized aluminum charms that “pop” into the holes on your silicone strap. The Pops come in a variety of designs (with the option to design your own) and are sort of like cufflinks for your Watch. Sort of.
